The Premier Cru delights with dry, tannic flavors reminiscent of good cabernet, underpinned by the complexity only decades-aged wrapper and years-aged filler can deliver. Each puff transitions and evolves, keeping the experience engaging and layered.

This was a very interesting and unique cigar. It could have been subliminal but I felt like I noticed some bold, tannic flavors like you would find in a sip of a good cabernet. The aged tobaccos really presented some pretty unique flavors that were new to me. Overall I enjoyed it and will save the other single for the future to see how my experience changes
The price tag is a bit high, in my opinion, but it’s one that is worth trying at least a single of.
